My condolences to Rosemary and Wally Jr. Walter was a friend to me for many years when I was a kid and as an adult. I enjoyed being able to stop in to see him and Rosemary at Dairy Dell when I would deliver supplies to them. I'll never forget "your quarter is for playing the machine, not to abuse it!" He also taught me about playing pool. I still say phrases I learned from him. Rest well, Walter. You'll be missed by so many. - Posted by: Tod Allen (Friend) on: Sep 10, 2018

We offer our deepest condolences, in the loss of your husband, father, grandfather & brother, Walter. Although not in recent times, our families were intertwined for many years - Walter's parents & my grandparents at the church; and then Walter and his sister Zoya, along with their parents, my parents & us kids, in the cultural activities of choir, dance groups, and banquets at the hall. Yours is a forever loss, but memories seldom fade - hold on to them, tightly. We send this note from: The Weremiuk Family - Mom Vera, Linda, Lorraine, & Larry. - Posted by: Linda (Weremiuk) Henderson (Friend of the family) on: Sep 08, 2018
